Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Gabriel Filion <gabs...@lelutin.ca>
* Package name : jgrep Version : 1.5.2 Upstream Author : Pieter Loubser <ploub...@gmail.com>, Dominic Cleal <domi...@cleal.org>, R.I. Pienaar <r...@devco.net> * URL : https://github.com/ploubser/JSON-Grep * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Compare a list of json documents to a simple logical language and returns matches as output JGrep is a command line tool and API for parsing JSON documents based on logical expressions. It returns a JSON datastructure that contains all of the matches from the original JSON document. Used as a library, you can filter results in a similar fashion from within your Ruby code. This tool is very similar in functionality to jq, but uses a matching syntax that is a lot simpler. This tool/library can be very useful on its own either directly on the command line or as a tool for building complex programs that need to filter JSON. It's also used as a dependency by facterdb, which itself is required for puppet-development-kit. I plan to maintain this package from within the ruby team. I will ask for sponsorship from the team.
